I recently glanced at some of the TV broadcast on 11/22/'15 regarding the events of 11/22/'63, and I noticed, again, that the assassination re-enactment for the "Inside The Target Car" program had the 1st Lady, JBK holding POTUS JFK in somewhat of a headlock at the time the fatal head wound(s) occurred. That headlock appeared to have JFK "too low" for a "frontal shot" to strike him from the south knoll/Commerce St side of Dealey Plaza without going through the windshield and/or striking other occupants in the limousine. I now recall seeing that program before, and wondering about the positions of JBK and JFK when the head wounding occurred, and I suppose I thought maybe it was corrected later, but maybe not. In any event, after viewing the Zfilm many, many times, and the Nfilm many times, as well as seeing the Mary Moorman photograph, taken as the head wounding occurred, many times also, I have not noticed the positions of JBK and JFK being as portrayed on "Inside The Target Car" in any film or photograph. I also do not recall any eyewitness testimony indicating that "embrace". Possibly I missed something. Or, was there a major mistake made while re-enacting the assassination for the ITTC program?

Thanks for the feedback. I just don't understand that re-enactment, but if I am wrong so be it. On the other hand, it is hard to understand how "professionals" can make a mistake like that, if that is the case. I would think that the "physics" of the murdering of JFK are quite well established, and have been for awhile.

I suppose I should have used a better choice of wording, other than "physics", when describing the re-enactment positions of JFK and JBK as shown on the national broadcast (again) of "Inside The Target Car" on 11/22/'15, relative to their actual position(s) at about 12:29pm/12:31pm CST on 11/22/'63. A wording short-cut, nothing more. In any event, I tend to believe that any re-enactment of the murder of JFK, whether staged with actors and props, or done with animation, correctness is absolutely essential. Good luck with your project.

And you should develop the research skills and expertise in deep political analysis sufficient to dissuade you from presenting unsubstantiated generalities as facts and endorsing JFK forums before you have investigated their well-documented liabilities.

"To be frank, when it comes to the use of Science [sic], both [pro- and anti-conspiracy] camps are still stuck -- or stuck still -- in the 20th. [sic] century and not even in the 1990s, more like in the late 1980s [sic]. That's a bummer. :-(

"The bright side ... is that the only ones pushing that boundary is [sic] us, the ones interested in The Truth [sic]."

Put aside, if only for a moment, what is revealed of this man's imagination and intellect by his use of the frowny-face, his feeble attempt at humor, and his problems with grammar and usage.

Herrera presents himself as a champion of the scietific method -- one who is adept at, or at least meaningfully conversant with, certain cutting-edge scientific disciplines. Yet as demonstrated here and above, he routinely presents as facts vague generalities wholly untested and otherwise unsupported by fact. One is left to wonder if he is familiar with the concept that generalizations cannot be verified by confirming observations. Does the term "falsifiability" ring a bell with this guy? Methinks there is madness to his method.

Further, he goes on to describe himself and his -- take your pick -- followers, acolytes, posse, and/or Merry Pranksters as the only legitimate seekers of truth in the JFK research community.

In terms of the former, Herrera all but disqualifies himself as a practitioner of the scientific method and calls into serious question the scietific legitimacy of the work he intends to produce here.

In terms of the latter, he can go fuck himself.

Notwithstanding Charles' expletive, these are most interesting observations.

As for the quality of the science, our resident physicists and co-founders, John Costella, PhD and David Mantik, PhD are both watching for the work if/when it emerges. They are not participants in it nor do they wish to be. However, if the work does not conform to acceptable standards of scientific inquiry we will be the first to know.

As for Ramon's self-proclaimed status of being among the "only legitimate seekers of truth in the JFK research community" I simply ask that he refrain from passing blanket judgments on the "rest of us." I would also like to remind him that a lot has been accomplished before his name was ever even heard. Indeed, in most JFK circles, including this one, he and his work are still very much unknown.

I used it to express, with maximum dramatic impact, my utter contempt for Herrara's dismissal of the work and sacrifice of so many who came before him and risked life and fortune in pursuit of truth and justice for JFK.

Conspiracy in the case of JFK's murder was established as unimpeachable fact decades before Herrara was around to stare into his mirror.

Granted each person must conclude all for one's self in the Dark Politics Arena, but it is to me foolish to "set one apart" or self and friends set apart from the community in general.

Given the work referenced here/hosted here and the group of humans self associated here at "assassinationofjfk", it is to me a serious trespass to throw stones from a glass house.

Other than ending the Sponsors games, I see no "win" in the Dark Politics at all.

Division and destruction of unity of a community is the product of such a stance taken publicly of us=good/them=bad and the like..

Even if I were fortunate enough to produce "proof" and get it past all the MSM censors. To wave the bleeding monkey in front of the US Justice Department and see them indict based on my own information.

I would not be shouting "I DID IT!!!!",

it would be more akin to "Let's not get fooled again.....Meet the new boss same as the old boss.....DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!"

I have much confidence in "scientists" in some cases. I rest easy on the work devalued by others.

Including as important the work of Dr. Mantik, Dr. Costella and all.... plus the rest of "us".

Me? I just pay attention to the more learned than myself, when they show me humanity of perspective and truth in the scientific method as an engine of progress.

I still try to stick to the pattern of "attack the data, not the person", but it can be difficult sometimes.

You said: "I still try to stick to the pattern of 'attack the data, not the person,' but it can be difficult sometimes."

Indeed, it can.

Admin note:

​Some would argue that I should have admonished Charles for his having invited Mr. Herrera to "commit unthinkable acts to his own self" on the grounds that said invitation is an ad hominem. However, it is also true that Mr. Herrera's having excluded the "rest of us" from the group of "legitimate researchers" is de facto an ad hominem itself.

Hence, I let it stand.

For the public record, Greg: Had you "admonished" me for said "invitation" for Mr. Wonderful to engage in an act not even John Curtis Holmes could have pulled off (oops), please know that I would have accepted your decision without complaint and with respect.

Make sure to notice the part where I mention The People and I state that we (that would be you, too) are making history. Unless you can find somebody who has preceded me (in this particular, conveniently and narrowly defined fashion), and I have not found. See post below.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but "Science" my ass!

Just a guess: English isn't your first language -- with a lower case "l", ignorant and arrogant Ramon.

Try as you might, I shall make it a priority to prevent you from walking back your ludicrous statements the likes of:

"The bright side ... is that the only ones pushing that boundary is [sic] us, the ones interested in The Truth [sic]."

The meaning of that statement is obscure only to the simple-minded and linguistically challenged. In writing it, you willfully proclaimed unambiguously and with absolute clarity that you and your "People" [sic], to the exclusion of all other JFK researchers, are "legitimate researchers ... intersted in The Truth [sic]." You painted with a broad brush and made no mention of any "narrowly defined fashion" until I called you out.

Now, exposed, you would equivocate -- except I won't allow it. Not here.

Accordingly, I find neither your intellect nor your character to be worthy of trust, and I have no reason to expect that your science will be any more accomplished or honest than your language and judgments offered on this forum and elsewhere to date.
